Seeking Help...kinda O/T

[Guest guest]

Peaches is getting vitamin supplaments and we just started accupunture last

week. along with a supplament that is called Evergreen chronic back support. the

one thing that bothers me is that I cannot for the life of me find out what is

the ingrediants in this stuff. she is also on crate rest to help her spine.

each session, she was good for about a week and wouldn't fall down. The other

thing that helps with the pain is an IR light. The doc I went to is Dr. Karen

Williams. She is at Bishop Ranch Vet clinic in San Ramon and also has an office

in Oakland, Creature Comforts. (don't know where you are located).

Sorry for your poor fur kid's condition. I would take her to a good ortho vet

and she what she/he says.

remedies and herbs since my daughter was born. Because I I'm grasping at straws

for my little dog. please forgive me for bringing up a dog but I've tried on the

animal lists and I havent gotten to far. my little 16 year old shitzu has been

on prednsone for a few years now. about 5 years ago she blew a disk in her spine

and I had to keep her still for four months. she seemed to have recovered but

then this past year in a half she has started going backwards. basicly if I dont

keep her on the pred her legs come out from under her and she falls and she

yelps from pain. the exrays show that her spine is fusing from T4-T9 Her spine

is curved were those vertibrades are. I worked with a homeopath over the

internet and she said she had sciatica and Limbo it helped some but she said

that was all she could do. so I went on the TCM for animals list and they

suggested the Seven Forest Liquidamber 15 which has helped some. and to also use

the Seven Forest Drynaria 12 and see how that goes. When she walks her back legs

bow and sometimes its almost like she cant control were she poops. Does anyone

know of anything else I can use to help this prob?? My vet says the pred is the

best thing they can do. she is on arthritis supplaments and shes on a raw food

diet. has anyone had any success with this issue? I'm Pregnant with my 2nd baby

and I'm doing the best I can. I'm trying to take care of everyone including my

fur Kids.
